To find the percent error, we can use the formula:

Percent error = (|predicted value - actual value| / actual value) * 100

The predicted value is $30.00 and the actual value is $19.75.

Percent error = (|30.00 - 19.75| / 19.75) * 100
Percent error = (10.25 / 19.75) * 100
Percent error ≈ 51.89873418

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 52%.

Therefore, the correct answer is 52%.
